Mike Pence Trolled By Neighbors With ‘Make America Gay Again’ Sign

During a weeklong stay in Aspen, CO, Vice President Mike Pence trolled by creative neighbors with a “Make America Gay Again” sign at the bottom of his driveway.

The sign was hung by Pence’s holiday neighbor on a stone column at the bottom of the driveway that leads to both of their homes, according to The Aspen Times. The sign was hung on a very colorful banner.

“You couldn’t miss it,” Buglione said of the banner that stands off Owl Creek Road. He added that the neighbors responsible for the sign had been very accommodating of the Secret Service agents and deputies stationed at the foot of the driveway, bringing them corn muffins and chili after hanging their sign.

Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo said one of his deputies witnessed the sign being posted.

“He was real sheepish and thought he might be confronted by the Secret Service or deputies who’d tell him he couldn’t do it,” DiSalvo said. “When they said, ‘We’re not here to control your free speech rights,’ they came out with chili and began feeding them.”

Pence arrived in Aspen Tuesday with his family and plans to depart Monday.

The neighbors did not immediately respond to The Aspen Times’ request for comment, but one woman, who claimed responsibility for posting the sign, reached out to correct Dissalvo’s comment.

“(The banners) were actually hung by the daughters of the couple who live in the home, and one of their girlfriends (I’m one of them!) with the full support of their parents,” Shannon Slade wrote in an email to The Aspen Times.

Pence, a staunch Christian conservative, eliminated legislative protections for the LGBTQ community during his tenure as Ohio Governor, but later backtracked, signing an amendment to the law codifying certain limited protections.

Trump once joked that Pence, who opposed the repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, “wants to hang” all gay people.

It would be great if VP Pence could fire back with something creative on Twitter so make these people realize how foolish they are. Knowing Pence he will probably not even acknowledge the issue.

Democratic Congresswoman Lauren Underwood is pointing a substantially heavy finger at the Trump administration, accusing them of murdering children during a hearing with Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan. This is ironic considering Democrats are the party advocating abortion…the literal murdering of babies. Underwood said on Wednesday, “People keep dying, and …

Goodness gracious! House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just doesn’t know when to stop! She is now accusing President Donald Trump of engaging in a “cover-up.” I guess the flop for Democrats following the Mueller report was too much to bear. “We do believe its important to follow the facts,” Pelosi rambled on, “We believe that no …
